I'm actually torn because in Brazil almost everyone that can would choose to live in a condo, due to security. The downside is that you need to follow a bunch of rules and get much less square m2, and likely worse locations... but you get into some kind of "social network" (depending on the house price) and your kid can walk to the neighbors by himself.

A small (not tiny) apartment with a tiny (that yes) garden/outdoor space in Tokyo. Murakami describes something similar in “The Wind Up Bird Chronicle” [0]. I want a small kitchen corner and a spacious and luminous living room for reading and listening to music. As minimal as possible.

My dream home would be one that is fully paid for that my family liked.

It would have a separate machine shop with 3 phase power and a floor thick enough for a forklift or pallet jack.

Probably something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_UHTgGFTX8

But in Hudson Valley New York instead of Newcastle Australia.

I didn't watch the entire video, but from what I saw by scanning the first couple minutes, it looks quite similar to the house in Ex Machina.

It does look that way but the house in Ex Machina is a Norwegian resort: https://juvet.com/en/

3 miles from anything that makes any noise or pollution - roads, neighbours etc.
